ABSTRACT

The new approach to concurrent error detection system organization with provision of property of totally self-checking structure based on Boolean complement method by constant-weight code “1-out-of-3” is offered in the paper. This approach is based on distinguishing the groups of outputs of tested device (three unidirectionally independent outputs in each) meeting the requirements of monotonous independence with their further test using “1-out-of-3” constant-weight code and unification of outputs of certain testers at the exits of self-checking comparator. Formulas of complement functions calculation are adduced; they allow providing the complex of test combinations for “1-out-of-3” code checker as well as for all XOR gates in Boolean complement block structure. Conditions providing totally self-checking of the structure are declared.

KEYWORDS
